Female Novel
Chapter 990
Isabelle sighed. “The situation at my house isn’t looking good and I really don’t want to stay here anylonger. I just want to understand your progress now so that I can leave as soon as possible ifeverything’s going on smoothly.”
After considering things for a moment, John asked, “Will your grandfather and father allow you toleave?”
This was indeed a good question as Isabelle was the only hope of the main branch of the Bailey Familynow that Dexter was gone. Mrs. Bailey had left, and only her father would be left in the family if Isabellewere to leave as well. Thus, John knew that Old Mr. Bailey and Elder Mr. Bailey would definitelydisagree if Isabelle wanted to leave.
Isabelle fell into silence before answering, “I have my own ways.”
John paused for a moment before he suggested, “You need to think about this carefully as it would bea huge problem if what your family is doing is exposed. If you don’t want to get involved in this, it wouldbe better if you can leave as soon as possible.”
Then, Isabelle sighed before telling him that she understood and hung up.
After staring at John’s phone for a moment, Sophia questioned, “What happened? Is Isabelle leaving?”
John grunted before he explained, “The Baileys are involved in too many aspects and I still can’tfathom everything, but from the information that I have gathered right now, they will be in serioustrouble if they get exposed.”
Everyone in the Bailey Family might get affected? It must be a very serious matter to affect the entirefamily like that. At that thought, Sophia nodded as she lamented, “The Baileys are really audacious,huh?”
Indeed, even John was amazed with what Elder Mr. Bailey could do sometimes. How could someoneso old still be so greedy for wealth? Had he ever thought of how many people in the Bailey Familywould get affected by what he had done? It might not have mattered to him, since he could close hiseyes and leave all the responsibilities to the others just because he was old, but what about his familymembers?
After John brought Sophia back to the main building, he accompanied Sophia to watch someanimations on the couch before they returned to their room. However, a mere few minutes after Johnentered the bedroom, Zack’s phone call came, so he had to go to the study room.
Sophia sighed as she changed into her pajamas. It felt like John had returned to how he was likeduring their first marriage, being busy as always. Then, she lay on the bed and started scrolling throughthe news on her phone. There wasn’t any interesting news recently besides those in the entertainmentsection.
As Sophia sat on her bed and pondered for a moment, she recalled the talent show that Ian joinedpreviously. It had been a really long time since she last watched it, so she couldn’t help but wonderabout his progress now. Then, Sophia started looking it up before realizing that the show had alreadyreached its final stage in the championship.
It had been a long time since she last contacted Ian, and they hadn’t talked much the last time he cameback. Still, it felt to Sophia like they had already talked everything out. However, it was impossible for
them to return to how they were in the first place even when the problem was already resolved.
Sophia randomly tapped on the newest episode and started watching the show. Ian’s condition wasgetting better now and he had returned to how he was last time, quiet and slightly distant. Then, Sophiascrolled through the comments below to see that many netizens had good things to say about Ian.
Ian was promoting himself as a gentle prince. Although this wasn’t the fastest road to gain more fans,he still had a solid fanbase. During the start of the show, Ian had been singing sweet love songs, but hehad been venturing into different song genres during these few episodes. For example, he sang anexplosive rock and roll song during the latest episode.
This was Sophia’s first time seeing Ian going all out singing on the stage as he had always been gentleand restrained, so she couldn’t help but feel sad when she heard his heart-rending singing.novelbin
